Madeline’s Muffins

2 ½ C Quick Mix4 Tbs sugar1 egg, beaten1 C milk or water (I used water, since there is powdered milk in the mix)

You can add all sorts of goodies to these muffins to mix them up a bit. I wanted to try out the base recipe before I started adding things. I thing next time I would like to try adding craisins, cinnamon and sunflower seeds.

I like to print the recipes and tape them to the mix container so I don’t have to dig out the recipe.

Do you have any go to mixes in the kitchen? Or wish you had a go to mix?
